The first reviews for Pokémon X&Y are being put online. We’ll be updating this post throughout the day to keep track of the games and what new reviews there are for you to read. Let’s get started!
Reviews
- Mashable: “‘Pokémon X’ and ‘Y’ Are Polished But Play It Too Safe”
- The much-anticipated 3DS addition to the Pokémon series will not disappoint fans of the franchise. 3D has been a long time coming, and I’m glad it turned out so well. While the battles are as fun as ever, I wish developers would had taken more risks with its structure and story. Still, whether you just want to casually battle friends or enter tournaments, Pokémon X and Y will give you enough to chew on for many, many hours of fun.
- IGN: “Pokemon X and Y Review: A Mega Evolution” (9/10)
- “Every so often, evolution takes a significant leap. Pokemon X and Y is smarter, better, and faster than its predecessors, but it’s the impressive online social features and fantastic new 3D look that make the latest game in the 15-year-old RPG series amazing. As long as you’re within the range of Wi-Fi, you’re never alone in Pokemon X and Y, and we finally have the tools to express ourselves over the course of this 35-hour adventure.”
- GameInformer: “Seeing Pokemon From a New Angle” (8.75/10)
- “Pokémon hasn’t made a concerted effort to step outside of its comfort zone ever since it first released in Japan in 1996 – and for good reason. It found its hook nearly 20 years ago and has held on firm for better and worse. In this way, changing things in Pokémon presents a certain degree of uncomfortable risk. X & Y offer no significant changes in direction to the Pokémon series, but this is the most drastic step the series has ever taken. “
- Digital Spy: “‘Pokemon X’ review (3DS): As engaging and addictive as ever”
- “Pokemon X and accompanying game Pokemon Y represent what is perhaps the biggest evolution of the Pokemon series since it debuted to a huge following in the mid-nineties.
Receiving a graphical overhaul, new ways to connect, customisation options and Mega Evolutions, not to mention a wealth of new Pokemon to catch, the games are packed with first-time features and fresh new ideas.At its core, however, Pokemon X doesn’t stray too far from the original ‘gotta catch ’em all’ concept that has made the series so addictive and engaging.”
- “Pokemon X and accompanying game Pokemon Y represent what is perhaps the biggest evolution of the Pokemon series since it debuted to a huge following in the mid-nineties.
Still waiting on the outright negative review!
Pokemon Bank
In other news, it has been confirmed that Pokemon Bank will be released in the US on December 27th, 2013 with a yearly fee of $4.99 ! You do get one free month of the service, however, and only need to start paying past the 30 day trial. It has also been shown that items do not transfer with the Pokemon.

i hope the X and Y anime doesnt have stupid names like b/w did and
less freindly song really b/w made it feel like it was always happy
That’s why I hate the anime
i like gen 1-4 animes they had some pretty dark episodes
like what?
I loved the Hoenn anime the most
The opening song is Volt which was played in several of the X/Y anime trailers, it’s very funky and I love it.

Will do.
added you. mine is 3780-9032-8227
Thanks!
Guys I need the help on my team tell me what I should keep or get rid of please.
Chesnaught
Pyroar
Litleo
Talonflame
Goodra
Clauncher evo
(Ghost type needed)
(Bug type needed)
Or you guys tell me what i should add
help too
goodra
avalugg
clawitzer
talonflame
gogoat
chesknaught
furfrou
tyrantrum
zoroark by all means
But what if there’s no Zoroark in the games?
i will transfer plus kalos has every pokemon
But aren’t some post-league????
only one so far called nitx
A lot of Pokemon are in the After-Game! Or you will obtain them then! You can only transfer Zoroark. You can’t catch it during the main story!
Chesnaught (Grass/fight)
Talonflame (Fire/flying)
Clawitzer (Water)
Tyrantrum (Rock/Dragon)
Avalugg (Ice)
Zoroark (Dark)
WOW a Litleo AND Pyroar!
Oops I didn’t mean that LOL, I’m a breeder why have one when you can get both
Just a suggestion:
Chesnaught (Grass/Fight)
Pyroar (Normal/Fire)
Goodra (Dragon/poison) Let’s assume that
Clawitzer (Water)
Trevanent or Gourgeist (Grass/Ghost)
Vivillion?? (Bug/Flying) If you want it. It probably won’t be too good but it does cover bug and flying. Or if you could get your hands on that bug/dark type.
Thanks a lot I might use this
Although I did just notice I gave you 2 grass types. You could substitute Trevanent/gourgeist with honedge and you’d have steel and ghost types
Not being a downer! Yet, post Friend Codes in the Friend Code, Jungle Talk! Here’s the Link: http://pokejungle.net/2013/10/04/jungletalk-heres-my-3ds-friend-code-add-me-maybe/
debbie downer just kidding

i mean we are waitng for leaks so we are adding each other
Not trying to be rude, yet it just adds clutter to the Page. Do, it in the Jungle Talk. Not here!
we’ve had to repost this a lot lately lol
thanks – hope that gets people to go over to that post again – it’s much less popular than this one!
I love how you always use “yet” in your posts <3
Not hating, just joking ok 😉
I would not lie! I use “yet” a lot! 😉
I wish there was a “Yeti” pokemon for you haha
Did we ever find out what’s before Smeargle and after Scolipede in the Central Dex????
Edit: Other way around
We have no clue.
We don’t know yet!
no body playing the game right now?
One of my ABSOLUTE favourite themes in this game – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RRGInmOhTQ – Its sooo relaxing!!
French Man at his best. 😉
Is it confirmed that he’s the ONLY professor?
Yea! The female we saw (with her legs and hair) was his assistant!
Thank you! do you happen to have a link to one of the leakers or that list of the Central Coastal and Mountain Dex?
I believe someone has posted the links below! Let me go fetch them!

Thank you!! 😀
Wow it looks like there haven’t been any updates :/
Yeah, there seems to be a massive amount of Mountain Pokemon no one is finding yet. That’s odd.
IDK I’m still confused about a previous article in Pokejungle stating something about a professor Sequoia??
Sycamore! I believe it was a typing error! Or, that might be his assistance name!
i glitched i got two Therian Forme tornadus
i read wat you were playing on friend list plus lucky
I’m playing Yoshi’s Island!

Yeah sure, never did multiplayer in that game before

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CEu3FQBOmA team flares song so mmhm yeah
OH MY GOSH it’s so new and classy and jazzy (or something like it)!!!!
i know right best song ever!!
This isnt the real song at all in case you didnt know
can’t wait for what the ACTUAL song sounds like
Sounds nice. Yet, it’s fake!
howd ya know
The leakers talked about the music. It more jazzy and upbeat. Also, 1000 real. By, that point, no Pokemon music was leaked.
Look at the date the video was made -__-
is skiddo catched early on?
After the first gym its catchable according to leakers
YAY EVERSTONE MY LITTLE SKIDDO
Speaking of Skiddo, do we know how we evolve yet?
i think be level up
I assume by level!
i believe that is what the leakers said
After the first gym! People were able to catch it!
We are in the final stretch. Pokejungle should a six day countdown leading to Oct.12 where we all have our pokemon games!!!
Many places are having a Mid-night release! I will be awake that whole night!
So will I 😀 can’t wait to see you then!
me too
Yay!:D
do we have an official gym leader battle music?
No! We currently don’t! There was some Gym Trainer music in one of the trailers!
Awwww gym leader music is one of the main things I look for in a good pokemon game
No and the one we heard that people were saying either gym leader or gym trainer, it is confirmed the gym trainer music(utuber6061 has the official one now), so we dont know what the gym leader music is yet
Can someone post the link to josh or know if hes going to play until he goes to work?
He went to work! Yet, here is the link: https://archive.foolz.us/_/search/tripcode/!xltmUpewoI/page/1/
headphones on 3ds games hurts my ears it changes spots depending how close are to on side
i will have a skiido cause in ghana every new year we kill goats last year i got really close to it and i watched its deadbody get dragged around i was so mortified that is why i am a veggie i use d to feed it choclate
This really didn’t have to be posted. 😛
why not
The part about Ghana. It really horrid to some people! I’m not saying it is a bad place. Yet, that part wasn’t needed!
wat is wrong with ghana
nothing, im sure its just the vivid description that took people aback thats all.
Like on Jurassic Park: “He ate the goat?!”
ikr but seriously
can u name it Mac? or did i have name
sure macgoat that is hos name
Really? that kinda of ironic i named my name after Mac and cheese so MacSkiddo and GogoatCheese
weird ( – _ -)
lol i was hungry that day
http://youtu.be/73UoF45hBVQ
I love this
It doesn’t sound competitive too me.. I like competitive…..
I LOVED hughs theme
Yeah, I thought Barry’s, Silver’s and Hugh’s themes sound really competitive and those were my favorites! This one is ehh but its still ok
I’ve heard it a lot! I really like it! Yet, I think the encounter theme is better! Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfwTit5P2O8
It is better
Why couldn’t this be the music.. like a faster, extended version….
I can say there was not a lot of hype for Black and White. Especially compared to this game. That is the main reason why I love this site ssssoooo much.
i think pokemon x and y music will be more beautiful then mario and luigi Dream team
I loved Mario and Luigi Dream team
It’s orchestrated is the large reason! Dream Team had some amazing music! Yet, we can all agree not really tops Zelda!
What Zelda game?
Skyward Sword, mainly! It had some of my favorite music! 😀 | I’m look forward to hearing X & Y music!
The only Zelda game I have is Ocarina of time 3d
I own that too! I have some Zelda games! I recommend you go check out some of the music. 🙂
k I will
Every zelda game has amazing music. Probably the best music of any video game series I’ve ever played. Skyward sword’s is extra amazing though because it has was orchestrated. And the anniversary CD that came with it was supermegafoxyawesomehot
Everyone make sure your 3DS’s are charged all of Oct.11 because the last thing you want to do is start playing the game with low battery.
Meh, unless you have a charger and a socket near by
I haven’t charged my 3ds in a week and Ive been playing and Its not on red. Its weird
ur have the god 3ds
i charged my xl everynight
Buy a safe so nothing will happen to your 3DS..
is it normal i that i put in back in the box at night
Too risky!
how about i tuck it in and read it a bedtime story
That will do. Also why not bring it everywhere you go! Just to play safe.
i get a 3ds holder like they do with babies
i think thats rumor which talkin about tusk and spider …etc …its fake
We know! It’s been confirmed fake!
really !
Is it confirmed that there isn’t any other Eeevee evolution?
And how many holes do we have in the pokedex? Any new grass-type?
The last question: does anyone know the type of the final evolution of Flabebé?
1 in Central, a few in Coastal, and a lot in Mountain
Thanks!!! That means that there are still some new pokemon waiting to be discovered!! Waiting for another grass type!!!
1. We don’t know! Sorry!
2. 150 for each area! (Central, Mountainous, and Coastal)
3. I think so! It should be Fairy/Grass!
I thought that there wasn’t any space in the Pokédex after Sylveon, because it goes Leafeon, Sylveon, Emolga….
There could be a new eevee in the national dex. After all this is trollfreak and I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled something like that
Sh*t. I would love a new eeveelution. Maybe dragon, steel or poison…
I would love a Fairy/Grass pkmn. Eitherway, I think Bellosom will be retyped into fairy. Has anyone searched for new fairy retyped pokemons?
And yes, only one new Eeveelution, and Florges is Fairy/??? I believe
My planned team so far:
Greninja/Chesnaught
Florges
Aegislash
Goodra
Heliolisk
Skrelp evolution
Get chesnught u already have a water type
thanks for pointing that you.
I’m disappointing by Delphox I can’t be!
So, are you #TEAMFROAKIE or #TEAMCHESPIN?
Both. Chesnaught looks like Art Prize’s Earth Giant and Greninja looks like an awesome ninja frog can’t decide.
Well I personally like greninja’s design more than chesnaught’s but I think if you are wanting the skrelp evo you should go with chesnaught because it would be more beneficial to your team
Florges??
I think that’s the name for Flabebe’s last evolution.
Final Flabébé evo
WHAA?????
Here I’ll find a pic
OMG!!!!!!!
Here
Flabebe’s final evolution!
Well if goodra is poison you will have 2 water and 2 poison.
Wait Josh really got Nintendo’d?!
I don’t think he did! He’s mostly at work!
Oh yeah he did say something about work! I remember now thanks 😀
great now my 3ds blinks orange
ITS BLINKING RED!!!! OH,NO!!!
everytime someone logs on it keep blinking untill i check it out
me too
its kinda annyoing
yeah
Ah I thought the screen was blinking orange
🙁 it’s a curse! Jk I hope it’s better
Question, is goodra I confirmed to be dragon/poison?
no
No, not yet. Yet, many people have said it still Water/Poison!
most likely pure dragon
